Having reread your thoughts, though, I looked again and did notice a distinct lack of artwork, which is strange given the location and price. As for interior design, though, for me this strikes a nice balance of providing a variety of visual input without detracting from stunning views. It would have been so easy to do so by either gussying up the place too much or going the opposite direction and being so minimalist as to make the interior space look completely alien to the lovely, lush exterior surroundings.

That said, I googled the designer mentioned in the listing, Holly Hulburd, and did find that some of her other projects were indeed modern to the point of being sterile. A few, though, were like this one – to my eye, a good blend.

So, a couple of details… In Pic 13 there are a number of shelf niches surrounding the big screen. Each one has the exact same… thing… in it, a low boxy item with what looks like a shallow bowl on top of it. WTH are those things? And in Pic 18, just inside the bedroom door is another… thing in a niche. It looks almost like a giant, odd-shaped version of a spiral fluorescent light bulb, a home version of some nifty Art Deco neon fixture. Again, anyone know for sure what it is? I’d hate to think it was a bug zapper in a house that nice (and pricey).

Remember your daddy
When no one was wiser
Your ma used to say
That you would go farther
than he ever could
With time on your side

With nothing to say
And no one to say it to
Nothing has changed
You’ve still got it all to do
Surely you know
The chance has gone by

So I tried to think about C3PO on the orange motor scooter again. It didn’t work.
